certain new and useful Improvements "inRecepta/cle :Holders, of which efollowing is a specification, res erence being had therein totheaccoinpanying drawing. This invention relates to receptacle lltlldGIS, and the invention has for its object to providea novel recepta l0;cle holder that can be suspended from a nail or book or supported upona ledge: p r t My invention aims to provide a receptacle holderparticularly dcsignedfor flower pots, the holder-being constructedwherebydt rnay be used in connection with a. window frame; and s wung toanydesired position, whereby a flower pot can be exposed to the sunlight or swung awayfr'orn the window frame to prevent cold air enteringthe vvindow :irorn injuring a plant growing in a pothcld by my.irnproved holder; In this connection my irnproved holder while designedfor flower can b e readily used lor supporting vases, 3

jars, and for such purposes itis designed to support a flower pot orvase avv indow; where the ledge or sill oi the window isnq'tofsuflicient width to accommodate flower pots. To this'end, lilyimproved holder is constructed of ligh t and durable metaland providedwith a frame for embracing the receptacle, and with a drip basin forreceiving water that may drip irornthe bottom of a flower pot. Inconnection with the holder I can use'a novel bracket iort support'ingthe holder upon 7 a window irame wherehyithe holder can he swung outsideof theiwindow or a considerable distance upon the inside oi the window:although the bracket is not necessary when it is desired tosnpporttheholder upon A a t The detail construct en eringfghwfm invention" .willbe hereinafter moreifullydescribed and then' spc cifically pointed o ut'inthe .appended clain s and referring to the drawing forming part ofthis specification 40 like numerals 0i reference" d esignatecorresponding parts throughout the "several views, in which z- Figure lis a perspective view impi'oved recepholder as suspended fro a wall orsimilar-support,"

I do not care to confine myself to the size, properout departing fromthe spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended elaims.

What I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:
